what kind of gasket do you have on there now? if its the lead type just scrape it off with whatever you can find suitable for the job. razor blade, scotch brite, steel wool, scraper. the copper ones i dont think need to be scraped.
I used a putty knife. Worked just fine. And just so you don't worry about leaking, put a layer of ULTRA COPPER on both sides of your gasket. I had leaky headers before, but now they are ok.
BTW I see you are from Ft Polk. I am at Ft Sam Houston. It really is a "small Army" isn't it?
